    What looking like Peter Dinklage aka Tyrion Lannister in game of thrones swinging a sword lol. That was after I got all my frustrations out. Once I finally cooled off I thought it'd be funny when I told the story to show people if I really had any neighbors what they could've seen walking by or out a window driving by. Since wifey fled with the kids before I really had at it full blown raw and uncut, I was left alone to go nuts and could only use the reflection in the truck door to capture a pic. Yeah Joon I'm guessing if I really was only 4ft tall that would make it even all that much more funny. Sorry to dissapoint and destroy the hilarious you might have created in your head, but hey if it makes you feel any better forgot I told you I'm over 6ft on the big and tall side, keep that 4ft image going and laugh it up. That would be so much funnier, I agree with ya @joonbug. Lol

    Yup don't care, I never understood why people bother to hide their plates. If it was such sensitive info wouldn't everyone want to hide them while driving around?
    This is another joke so bare with me here. I'm gonna call it a night soon before I get into the really big stuff next. The mods that come after this are pretty substantial and will take some time to document for you all. The next stuff is what I consider big money and groups a whole bunch of stuff together. You'll understand when I post it all soon. I should be able to display the next pretty big group before the end of the week.
    So without further delay, I will call these next two additions a mod jokingly and display the big reveal. I'm really going out with a bang here, drum roll please...........
    20171005_223439.jpg This is the eBay exclusive trd black metal rear license plate frame and yes the black rubber exclusive rear hitch receiver plug mods. I know I know try to control all the excitement. I realize the magnitude of this huge mod reveal but you can't say I didn't warn you. As you can probably tell, this purchase was the ol "let me just buy some inexpensive shit while I await for the next group of big items to be delivered. This was to scratch the itch while I waited for the real deal stuff to be delivered to me. I realize the pic sucks but let's be real, I doubt any of you really care or had to clean any type of mess out the front of your pants when I showed this. If u really are interested in either things I can always get you a better pic or the info to purchase. Good night everyone. I assure you the next group of mods are really mods and shouldn't dissapoint. It's not earth shattering so don't get your hopes too high, but I assure you they are much bigger, better, and more expensive than the crap shown so far. Just trying to show in the order I did them.

    What's good my boy blue. For the info you seek I will be showing and telling with pics on the next mod reveal. Some pretty good stuff coming up next. Way better than any b.s. so far. Remember I'm also doing this to distract me from buying a bunch more shit. I gotta spread it out a little. I promise though the next list of things are almost 10 deep. I can't bust too quick otherwise I'll be doing a headlight retro 3 days after my build thread starts. Lol. You know how it is, when you got the itch to buy shit for the truck it's awfully hard not to scratch it and pull the trigger on it. I'm trying my best here, now don't go being a bad influence on me here, u know I got weak tundra porn willpower. Lol

    I feel sorry for ya if true, but I think we think alike. When it comes to our trucks we try to add a little flashiness while still keeping the classiness. Everything done with a whole bunch of research, purpose, and not too over the top. Always planning ahead and contemplating the next step to bring it all together. I'm a little salty over here you got my fog lights before me, lol. I think that, a DAP tune, and hid headlight retro will be the next $1500 spent in upgrades after I help the ol lady out. Gotta try and keep up with ya big daddy warbucks lol.

    I refuse to go into great detail but I'll give you all a sneak peek to keep the tastebuds wet.
    Here's the before......
    20170204_101806.jpg

    And here's the after......
    20170321_171937.jpg
    The truck goes from being just a boy with its tiny little nuts stuck up tight into it's own sac, all the way to a nuts dropped low, hanging large, grown ass man in just 8 hrs. For those that can't tell it's more than just new shoes. I'll get into all of that another day. Don't ask yet and don't worry I won't tell. There's a pretty decent size list of goodies that went into the the grown ass man after pic. I'll let you all in on it all in the next product reveal and review. Quite a bit coming on the very next, probably very soon reveal, I promise and look forward to sharing.

    Since my craziness and shenanigans have made me almost infamous among the crew here, when or who has the authority to rid myself of this new member title? Does it go off after a certain time frame? Or does a certain good lad like yourself have the authority to make such a change. I'd definitely prefer my certified modoholic phrase to appear under my tag over new member. I feel like I've behaved pretty well to the best of my abilities and contributed as a productive forum member. I mean sure there's always room for improvement, but hey, I'm trying to help others by doing this and managed to keep the real craziness I'm capable of under wraps. Put me in coach, I'm ready, I can handle the responsibility of losing the new member tag. Lol

    Oh ok, I went in there while ago and put "certified modoholic" but still see new member so I thought maybe I needed to be here for certain timeframe. Yeah if u want to change it for me that'd be great. Tnx Sean.

    20171006_151814.jpg Even though it's not a mod and I half jokingly threw the pic in the other night because it was something I changed while I was waiting for my group of big expensive stuff, just in case anyone is interested, I figured at tge very least I could give you a much better pic so here it is. TRD black metal frame with 3D logo and hitch receiver plug. I felt bad about how crappy the last pic was, taken at night, so I put a tiny bit more effort into giving a better pic for the slight chance someone might care about something so small. I don't have the time right now, but trust me, much bigger more expensive, more serious stuff is next in a large group of products bunched together. As I stated earlier, I'm giving them to you in the order I did and made sense to me to do.

    Ohh btw sometime in the future when not using my tri ball tow hitch I will replace the toyota plug in the receiver with a factor 55 hitchlink 2.0 and put a red shackle on the back to match the front. I have more important mods I'm currently saving for so that little addition will have to wait since not as important as the others I have planned.

    Alright guys the temptation has kicked in to post another set of mods. I didn't like leaving off with such a weak addition as a plate from n hitch plug lol. So, I will end this week with a bang. But 1st let me just fill some who may not know where I'm coming from on the next group of mods.

    I bought a pro bc when I 1st saw the 1st release I knew I had to have. I wasn't planning to change anything I loved it stock. I wanted to keep it a pro. For those who don't know the pro comes with dual exhaust, 2 inch factory lift with billisteins, a skid plate, the black wheels, and other nice cosmetics. Before I got my truck I drove a Pro and loved the suspension, even though just a tad soft imo. I wouldn't have got a pro if I planned to change those things that separate it from a non pro. It had all I needed and nothing I didn't. So I knew from start I was keeping the dual exhaust, skid, wheels, and suspension. However, I wanted just a little more lift and bigger tires, which the latter I felt very strongly since toyota put prius shoes on it.

    So to add a little more lift while keeping the pro suspension which I love btw, and throw some bigger tires while still keeping the pro wheels I decided to do the following. Side note, I almost caved in and bought some method mesh in titanium but they were on backorder so I took that as sign since I was on the fence. First I bought some Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 295/70r18. At the time I didn't want to do a body mount chop so after all my research I found this was biggest I could run with my plans and w/out chop.

    The tires are fn awesome. I wanted an all terrain since it is my daily driver but wanted that aggressive mud tire look with some off road and shitty westher capability. The tires deliver. They are quiter than the stock Michelins and look great. They are a heavy I think like load P or E double check that, but so far I put over 10k on them and this is them how they stand now.20170920_164918.jpg 20170920_164752.jpg

    20170322_163026.jpg 20170322_163441.jpg 20170322_164128.jpg This what the tires looked like when I first got them put on the stock rim. I like them so much I'm pretty sure my next go around I'll do the cmc and roll on 35's.

    Life is good, man. I am thoroughly enjoying your build thread, and the commentary. You should have a column in the paper! Your truck is sick.

    My next issue or challenge was running these RG tires on stock wheels. If I got the Method rims they'd have the proper offset to push them out enough from the uca and give an awesome look. Since I was planning to run pro wheels I decided to get a set of 4 spidertrax 1.25 inch wheel spacers. They not only much the tires out nicely to give that little more aggressive stance without going over the top and having 3/4 my wheel sticking out. Not only athestically does the spacer help but it pushes the tire and wheel out far enough not to rub any part of the truck in that area. Plus since it's a much taller tire than the stock Michelin the function of the spacer also helps counter the top heavy feeling I would have without. Imagine a body builder who doesn't do legs. He'd be struggling to support his upper body around turns without the wider stance below. This setup I'm currently running is aeesome. It feels great around turns and all other handling. I'd strongly recommend if going with a much bigger tire to either use the spacer or an offset rim to account for the added height. My truck handles fn awesome and I truly believe the wider stance without going over the top really benefits my trucks handling. Here's couple more pics to see the stance with stock rim and 1.25 spidertrax spacer. I'd also only recommend either same or Bora. But to each their own.

    Here's an actual pic of the spacer, although it's blue it's barely noticeable unless you really look for it. I wish they had red but oh well, not the end of the world. It's actually pretty cool looking, just doesn't happen to match a damn thing on my truck.
    20171006_221544.jpg
    I wouldn't let the color deter u if u decide u want them. Like I said spidertrax and Bora are very reputable. Carrying my kids in the truck, this is 1 area I'd strongly recommend NOT cheating out on.

    At the same time of upgrading the stock prius tires in order to help get them to fit, get a little more lift keeping the pro suspension, and help avoid the squatted look I decided to keep a very slight rake to it by adding Coachbuilder aka David Elkstrom, Elkstrom designs shims and shackle. I decided to put 2 shims up front, each one .5 inch totalling 1 inch more upfront and a +3 shackle in the rear, I believe that adds an inch and 3/4 to the rear. You can see the very slight rake and the trained eye will notice how the tires don't encompass the whole entire wheel well. They still fill up that space nicely but the truck doesn't look squashed onto the tires.

    Let me just say this, thank you Total Performance in Mahwah for the install. It was great to drop my truck off before work and pick it up a completely different truck after. The owner Chris is a great guy.
    Speaking of customer service, David Elkstrom, is hands down the best. The guy gives you his cell, he's beyond knowledgeable about specifically the Tundra, having 1 himself, he's found a nice little niche and comes very recommended. This guy really is the best when it comes to all 3 aspects of the sale, b4, during, and after, he's the best.

    See I told u all there were a bunch of goodies to come. While doing the tire upgrade, the spacers, the shims, and shackle, I also decided to purchase from Elkstrom designs the steer kit and bushings replacement. Boy does it help. His shackle and steer kit is very high quality. I believe his heim joint here is rated for up to like 30000 lbs.
    20171006_224423.jpg 20170928_161608.jpg I don't have a pic, sorry of the shims or shackle before I put on but you can pull plenty up online to see the high quality of them.

    20170322_164201.jpg The heavy duty shims and shackle also help in the handling of this beast. It took out alot of the bed bounce and overall just improved in many aspects an already great handling truck by taking it to the next level.
    So just to recap, I told you guys a bunch of pretty big things went on right here. I did 295/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, to help with handling went with 1.25 spidertrax wheel spacers, an Elkstrom design steer kit and bushing replacement, 2 shims up front and +3 shackle in rear, also all from David at Elkstrom Designs. This got me a little extra lift, helped fit larger tires and made disappear squatted look, also helped in handling. I figured with the bigger tires and the wider stance, all the other products would help with these additions. Boy was I right, I'd do it all again, they sure did and continue to help.
    Couple little side notes. The tires balance very easy and thru 10k miles are showing very little wear if any. They are extremely quiet and handle great in all conditions thus far. Coachbuilder also will provide you with the specs for the alignment. With the adjustments I made this is crucial. The alignment must be done and I'd strongly refrain from using the stock calibrations. David will provide you this and I think I still might even have these specs depending on what you do, I also gave them to @Rocketman since he did same. I'm guessing he loves the setup as much as I do. To account for the bigger tires, wider stance, and additional height, the components of the shackle, steer kit, and bushings help greatly in the handling of the truck and help prevent against greater wear since they are built specifically for this type of application. Overall, I'd do every single addition made here all over again if I had to. I'm very happy with the look and function of all these additional modified components. I think it sits very nicely and comfortably at these specs without being over the top, keeping it classy, and not causing any additional unnecessary wear and tear or any prematurely wearing or failing from the taller and wider stance.

    I appreciate it. I tend to be long winded, but hey it's my build and others aren't forced to read if they don't want or can't lol. I'm only putting the words in so it'll help others and get the details if interested in doing the same. Tnx and as always good to hear from ya. Glad you are enjoying it.

    I know I just put a lot of info and pics out there late on a Saturday night, probably while most are either drunk or on their way lol. I'll give everyone some time to catch up on all the info in the build, I'll try to address any questions thrown my way, and keep it going in near future. I didn't want to leave off at such a dull point before, so I figured I'd throw in some more serious mods and let all catch up. As I already stated I'm reliving the build in the same order of steps I did everything.
    I just hope I didn't forget anything up until this point.
